  • Sorry, I will not talk about browsers in your list because I’ve tried them and my personal preference goes to chawan for these reasons:

    • has CSS layout support
    • has HTML5 support with various encodings
    • can display Inline images in terminals that support Sixel or Kitty protocols (opt-in feature)
    • offers basic JavaScript support via QuickJS (opt-in)
    • supports HTTP(S), SFTP, FTP, Gopher, Gemini…
    • has built-in viewers for Markdown, man pages, and directory listings
    • has Incremental loading
    • uses multi-processing, so several buffers can be loaded at once
    • offer mouse support, bookmarks, and protocol handling extensible by users

    If you want to check another option, there’s also brow.sh.

    Hope this helps in your web terminal journey :)



  • Terminal is faster when you’re used to it and sometimes offer more customization options to some apps that has both a GUI and TUI/CLI version.

    I use the terminal (st with zsh and tmux) for:

    • file management (advcpmv, fd, trash-cli, fzf …)
    • emails (neomutt)
    • text editing/coding (neovim)
    • project management (taskjuggler)
    • image viewing/organization (ucolla,ge)
    • online video browsing (ytfzf)
    • calendar (khal)
    • ssh
    • vpn
    • news aggregator (newsboat)
    • web, bookmarks manager (buku)
    • passwords manager (pass)
    • dotfiles manager (stow)
    • not in the terminal but I also have a lot of scripts used in rofi to control my audio input/outputs, launch a web search, access my bookmarks, autocomplete username and password fields

    I’m sure I’m missing some obvious tools I use daily. It’s hard remember everything when it becomes so natural.

    I have shared my experience with some of these tools here.
